Great little ship to visit. It's a smaller ship so it doesn't take very long to tour, but it's a wonderful piece of maritime history. The woman who was on staff that day was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the lightship and was great to talk with.
It was fun exploring the vessel freely (it was a self-guided tour). One ticket covers visiting 4 vessels at the harbor. It was an honor to see the living conditions for the navy in that era.
I didn't have time to tour it, but I will the next time I am in Baltimore. Neat part of history on display.
As mentioned in other reviews, if you pay to tour this ship, you also get to tour three other ships in the harbor - the Torsk (WWII submarine), the Chesapeake (light-ship), and a USCG Cutter. If you take the time to tour all the ships, it's totally worth it!
This is a neat ship to tour and you get access to pretty good amount of the ship!

Very cool ship! These museum ships leave nothing out of exploring, all levels are accessible! Be very careful tho- it’s very easy to trip, hit your head, and miss a step since stairs are very small and have low beams. Cool experience tho!
The Chesapeake is a great example of a well preserved Lightship! With the unfortunate demise of so many other Lightships, it's great to see the Chesapeake still afloat and in fantastic condition! If you have the chance, go onboard and check her out!
Very cool ship with very reasonable admission prices. Definitely check this place out if you're a navy buff and want to learn more about marine boats. Stairways are a bit narrow and steep but not a problem. Headroom is limited but enough where you don't have to strain yourself. Not many people when I visited so it was great to enjoy the boat without people crowding in. A lovely hidden gem.
The ships are one of the best things to see and do when visiting Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Also try out the paddle boating! It's always cheaper than the aquarium.
